Commentary on Proverbs 6:4

• Matthew Henry (Presbyterian), Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary on Proverbs 6:1-5: It is the excellency of the word of God that it teaches us not only divine wisdom for another world, but human prudence for this world, that we may order our affairs with discretion; and this is one good rule, To avoid suretiship, because by it poverty and ruin are often brought into families, which take away that comfort in relations which he had recommended in the foregoing chapter. 1.
• John Gill (Reformed Baptist), Exposition of the Old and New Testaments on Proverbs 6:4: Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids. Until the above things are done; which denotes of what consequence and importance they are; and that persons in such circumstances should not be careless, dilatory, and unconcerned; but should use great diligence, and leave no stone unturned, or method untried, to extricate themselves; see Psa 132:4. .
• Keil & Delitzsch (Lutheran), Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament on Proverbs 6:1-5: Pro 6:1-5 The author warns against suretyship; or rather, he advises that if one has made himself surety, he should as quickly as possible withdraw from the snare. 1 My son, if thou hast become surety for thy neighbour, Hast given thy hand for another: 2 Thou art entangled in the words of thy mouth, Ensnared in the words of thy mouth.
